The Quantity and Music of the Greek Chorus Discovered is a book written by William Willis Moseley and published in 1847. The book is a scholarly work that examines the use of the chorus in ancient Greek drama. Moseley argues that the chorus was not simply a group of singers and dancers, but was an integral part of the drama itself, serving as a mediator between the actors and the audience. Moseley explores the quantity of the chorus in Greek drama, examining how the number of chorus members changed over time and how it varied depending on the type of play. He also delves into the musical aspects of the chorus, analyzing the different types of songs and dances that were performed and how they were used to convey different emotions and themes. Throughout the book, Moseley draws on a wide range of sources, including ancient Greek texts, modern scholarship, and his own observations of performances of Greek drama. He also provides numerous examples of how the chorus was used in specific plays, such as Aeschylus’ Oresteia and Sophocles’ Antigone. Overall, The Quantity and Music of the Greek Chorus Discovered is a detailed and comprehensive study of an important aspect of ancient Greek drama. It provides valuable insights into the role of the chorus and its significance in the theatrical tradition of ancient Greece.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
